Well, it only took 17 years, but Andy is now a High School graduate. His Momma didn't even cry at the ceremony.
The entire class came down before graduation started for a group picture. Can you see Andy in the picture? (It's kinda like Where's Waldo?)
There he is! There were a lot of smiling faces in the group. A lot of goofin' around too.
This was the Valedictorian, Simeon. He gave a good speech with a lot of humor in it. Then we sat through a long slide show of every student in the class. They finally started handing out the diplomas to the kids.
And there comes Andy! Right before I took this picture our youth minister, John E., set of his air horn from the balcony. He almost made GranPa jump out of his seat.
Andy first shook the hand of the School Board President, Allan Wilson. I graduated with Allan and he was one of Andy's little league coaches.
He then received his diploma from the High School Principle, KayLynn Day.
He then had his tassel move by Rosanna Simpson, one of the math teachers.
They then gave him a rose which he brought over and gave to his Momma.
After all the diplomas were handed out it was time for Andy to give the closing prayer.
Then everyone threw their hats (hoping not to put an eye out) and it was over.
When we got to the house all the family that was there had their picture made with The Graduate.
